DESCRIPTION:Ceramic Nanotechnology for Sensors and PhotocatalystsPerena Gou
 ma\, Ph.D.Edward Orton\, Jr.\, Chair in Ceramic EngineeringProfessor\, Dep
 artment of Materials Science & EngineeringProfessor\, Department of Mechan
 ical and Aerospace EngineeringThe Ohio State UniversityMy research over th
 e past two decades has focused on polymorphic ceramic oxide systems- their
  novel synthesis\, characterization and use in diverse applications. Throu
 gh tailored processing of metastable oxide phases\, we have developed in m
 y research group selective gas sensing probes that can be used to monitor 
 biomarkers (volatile organic compounds and other signaling metabolites) in
  exhaled breath and skin. These are built into portable and handheld artif
 icial olfaction systems which allow for the non-invasive and non-intrusive
  detection of a variety of diseases and metabolic malfunctions\, e.g. from
  asthma to sleep disorders. They may also allow for the monitoring of diab
 etes as well as monitoring human performance in extreme environments. Anot
 her area of my expertise involves the processing of complex 3D self-suppor
 ted architectures of nanostructures ceramics and composites. Using scalabl
 e nanomanufacturing techniques\, such as the needle-less high-throughput e
 lectrospinning that we have developed in-house\, we have demonstrated cont
 inuous formation of single crystal oxide nanofibers as well as Nanogridsâ„¢ 
 which may be used as photocatalytic blankets using solar energy to decompo
 se pollutants in water and to produce energy from water splitting. My most
  recent work has been exploring the Chevrel Phase material system of terna
 ry molybdenum chalcogenides produced by a combination of SHS processes and
  electrospinning. Through all these studies\, the aim has been to use cera
 mic nanotechnology for a healthier and safer world.Professional Biography:
  Dr. Pelagia-Irene (Perena) Gouma is currently the Edward Orton Jr.\, Chai
 r in Ceramic Engineering at The Ohio State University. Her previous appoin
 tment was with the Institute of Predictive Performance Methodologies (IPPM
 ) and with the MSE Dept. (tenured Full Professor) at the University of Tex
 as-Arlington. Before that\, for 16 years\, she was a Professor at the Stat
 e University of New York in Stony Brook\, and the Founder and Director of 
 the Center for Nanomaterials and Sensor Development (CNSD). She holds a B.
 Sc. degree in Applied Physics from the Aristotelian University in Thessalo
 niki Greece\; a M.Sc. (Eng) degree in Materials from the University of Liv
 erpool\, UK and a M.Phil in Organizational Management from the same Instit
 ution. She received her Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Th
 e University of Birmingham in the UK. Dr. Gouma’s research activities invo
 lve the synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials for bio-/chemical 
 sensors and biotechnology as well as the development of artificial olfacti
 on systems (breath analyzers\, electronic noses and tongues). Dr. Gouma ha
 s established novel and highly successful programs on nanomedicine\, with 
 emphasis on the development of non-invasive breath and skin-based diagnost
 ic tools. Other areas of her research include photocatalysts and sorbents 
 for remediating water from fracking operations and self-supported photocat
 alytic blankets that float on water and produce energy from photochemical 
 water splitting. She has been featured as an expert in nanomaterials\, cer
 amics\, sensors\, and photocatalysts in numerous press releases (Science N
 ation\, IOP\, Science press\, NPR\, NBC news\, Fox news\, Fast Company\, e
 tc.). She has published over 140 peer-reviewed articles\, 18 book chapters
  and editorials\, and a monograph. She also holds 18 patents (both US and 
 International). She is a member of the National Academy of Inventors\, she
  was a Fulbright Scholar to UNICAMP in Brazil\, and she has received the p
 restigious Richard M. Fulrath award of The American Ceramic Society. She h
 as been elected a Fellow of The American Ceramic Society (2019). She was t
 he sole Chair of the 2011 ISOEN Conference. Dr. Gouma can be reached at: g
